::In operations looking over useless status reports waiting to head for the memorial service::
Cmdr_Savar says:
@::Aboard the Luna's Captain's Yacht, coming into close range of Arcadia::  COM: Arcadia: Arcadia Station, this is the Sea of Tranquility requesting docking clearance.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Making sure his dress uniform is in tip top shape ::
CSec_Powers says:
::Sitting in his office, going over security with his teams:: Teams: I don't expect any trouble... but you never know.  Alpha team, keep close watch over the location.  Beta team, patrol the promenade.  ::A Chorus of yes, sirs answers him and he smiles::
AXO_Danforth says:
::looking over reports on the transporter accident, no longer puzzled, but searching for answers.::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::presses com controls:: COM: SoT: This is Arcadia station, permission granted.
FCO_Charn says:
::in the Captain's quarters, staring into Tes' eyes, counting seconds::
Cmdr_Savar says:
@COM: Arcadia: Thank you, Commander.  Which docking bay?
CEO_Janarn says:
::feels it's only fitting to leave the station now...Heather's left and the Captain's dead...::
CNS_Cook says:
::walks up to the door once shared by Morgan and Jadis and rings the chime::
EO_Baggins says:
:: leaves his quarters and heads to the bridge::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
COM: SoT: Docking Bay 1, Berth 14 is waiting for you.
FCO_Charn says:
::barely raises her head, then decides to stand up from the couch:: CNS: Enter.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Exits TL into Operations, takes his spot for the moment::
AXO_Danforth says:
COM: SoT: Savar, is that you?
CNS_Cook says:
::walks into the room, and slightly smiles at her::  FCO: I just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing
Cmdr_Savar says:
@COM: Arcadia: Yes, Commander Danforth, it is I.  ::Begins maneuvering the yacht to Docking Bay 1::
AXO_Danforth says:
COM: SoT: It's good to hear your voice, even on this solemn occasion.
FCO_Charn says:
::looks around at the few empty cases she is deciding if to fill or not with Jeffrey Morgan's belongings:: CNS: Thank you, Counselor. I am... ::she can't find any words to finish the sentence::
CSec_Powers says:
::Leaves his office, leaving his rifle behind in respect for the seriousness of the ceremony::
EO_Baggins says:
:: enters the bridge ::
Cmdr_Savar says:
@COM: Arcadia: Indeed, Mr. Danforth.  I will be aboard shortly, would you like to meet me in Docking Bay 1?  ::Completes the docking procedures::
CNS_Cook says:
::picking up on her thoughts, he takes a seat next to her::  It will take some time,
AXO_Danforth says:
COM: SoT: Of course, Savar.  I'll be waiting in DB1.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Looking over some reports about the accident, fingers flying across the panel ::
Cmdr_Savar says:
@::Closes the com channel and stands from his seat, shutting down the yacht.  She should be safe here... he checks his black robe once more, and Amber (his wife) comes out to disembark with him::
FCO_Charn says:
::sits down again:: CNS: I have been told so before, yes. It was proven a true statement. ::in a tone of voice that clearly shows she's not convinced::
AXO_Danforth says:
::heads to DB1 and arrives just as the SoT is going through docking procedures::
EO_Baggins says:
:: looks over at AXO and nods, approaches XO :: XO : EO Baggins reporting for duty, would you like me to report to engineering
FCO_Charn says:
::does not know how she manages to keep a steady tone of voice:: CNS: I have been thinking about... taking some time off. I'd like to return the captain's belongings to his family.
CEO_Janarn says:
::continues to work in engineering, waiting for the memorial services to begin::
Cmdr_Savar says:
::Steps off of the ramp and sees the AXO:: AXO: Commander.  May I present my wife, Amber of Betazed.
CNS_Cook says:
FCO:  I am sure they will be thankful for that, do you require any assistance
Host ACO_Claymore says:
EO: We'll be having the memorial service soon
Host ACO_Claymore says:
EO: No need to report to Engineering yet
CSec_Powers says:
::Gets a notification of a docking craft, but the security level is minimal... no need to take care of anything, apparently whoever it is, is well trusted by the crew::
EO_Baggins says:
ACO : Yes sir
FCO_Charn says:
::looks around:: CNS: I...  ::finally looks at him:: I am not sure.
CNS_Cook says:
FCO: Well I would be more then happy to help you with anything you may need
AXO_Danforth says:
::genuinely pleased to meet Savar's wife:: Amber: I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.  ::He bows politely and takes her hand like a gentleman::
Cmdr_Savar says:
<Amber> ::Smiles and allows herself a smile, despite the circumstances::  AXO: Thank you.  I've heard so much about you... so much about all of you.
Cmdr_Savar says:
<Amber> AXO: I'm so sorry to hear about this... and right after we leave...
AXO_Danforth says:
Amber: We're not as illogical as Savar makes us sound.  ::smiles and turns to Savar::  Savar: And you, you old Vulcan.  I've missed your Vulcan wit...and your sound advice.
FCO_Charn says:
::nods, realizing she might not ever call him, but nevertheless thankful for the offer:: CNS: Thank you, counselor. If... If I feel in need of help, I will call you.
Cmdr_Savar says:
AXO: Indeed.  I received your message... would you like to talk as we walk to the ceremony?
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::looks at the time:: Operations: Ladies and gentlemen if you are going to attend the memorial service then now is the time we should be going ::walks towards the Turbolift and enters, waits for anyone to join him::
CEO_Janarn says:
CSO: Sir, here are the reports that the AXO asked me to file.  It pretty much explains everything in detail about what happened.  I wish I had better news.
EO_Baggins says:
:: turns and walks to the turbolift ::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CEO: It's most likely you have the same news I have. Thank you. :: Begins looking over the report::
AXO_Danforth says:
Savar: Yes...I think I would.  ::looks over at Amber:: Amber: If you don't mind two old warhorses chatting about current events?
Cmdr_Savar says:
<Amber> ::Rolls her eyes slightly:: AXO: I've gotten used to it over the years.
CNS_Cook says:
::a small beep comes from his com badge, he had set it to alert him of the time to head to the service.:: FCO: It is almost time, if you would like I would be honored to walk you to the services
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Moves to the TL ::
AXO_Danforth says:
Savar: This really came as quite a blow to me I have to admit.  ::talks as they walk::  I can't help but feel responsible, even though I know I shouldn't.
CEO_Janarn says:
::heads toward the memorial service::
FCO_Charn says:
::stands up, somewhat automatically:: CNS: Thank you. ::starts walking, and adds:: I've been debating all of today if I'd go or not. I guess... I'm going.
Cmdr_Savar says:
::Walks along with his wife:: AXO: Have you talked to Doctor Cook?  I'm certain he could help you... not that I couldn't, but I am no longer assigned to Arcadia.
EO_Baggins says:
:: follows the to the memorial ceremony ::
CSec_Powers says:
::Arrives in the room, and sees a few people already there, and others coming in.  He gives a few sympathetic smiles and moves on with his business, while his team discretely takes positions::
FCO_Charn says:
::leaves the quarters with the Counselor and walks to the turbolift::
CNS_Cook says:
FCO: Yes, the captain would have liked for you to go. ::Seeing how she automatically stood up he places his arm around hers, mostly for support, and to help her on the way.::
AXO_Danforth says:
Savar: Very true.  I'm sure Dr. Cook is very well equipped to handle such a dilemma, but you know, you can't help but go back to old friends.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::heads for the service, still going over the words in his mind that he is going to be speaking to so many people::
Cmdr_Savar says:
AXO: I understand.  Indeed, I have spoken to Doctor Calahan recently... it is agreeable that they are fitting in well in their new ship.
FCO_Charn says:
CNS: I actually wonder if he would have or not. However... he's not around to give his opinion, and that's the whole point. ::enters the turbolift, for once in her life not minding that somebody took her arm::
AXO_Danforth says:
::hears Keely's name and feels a small twang of...he can't explain:: Savar: That's great...that's great to hear.  Have you heard from Captain Loran recently?  I was wondering how he was doing.
CEO_Janarn says:
::arrives at the memorial service and feels badly about the CO's death...not even his healing powers could save the Captain::
CNS_Cook says:
FCO: I am sure he wouldn't you to spend this time in your quarters, he would want you to be with your Friends.  He is never that far away from you, he is here ::points to her head:: In your dreams, and he is here ::points to here heart:: in your love for him
Cmdr_Savar says:
AXO: No, I have no spoken to Captain Loran.  I was unable to reach him... ::Arrives at the doors, and motions for Danforth to go ahead::
CNS_Cook says:
::arrives on the proper deck with Jadis, they slowly walk out of the TL and head to the room::

ACTION: The crew and guests file in and take their places for the memorial service.

CSec_Powers says:
::Sees several unfamiliar faces at the doorway... a Vulcan male and a.. probably Betazed female, apparently a couple from how they touch fingers.  These must be the guests that just arrived... how stately and at-home the Vulcan looks::
AXO_Danforth says:
::enters ahead of Savar:: Savar: Thanks.  It's good to talk to you again.
FCO_Charn says:
::out of politeness, she does not add that he is not there -imaginary point to her side- where she'd like him to be. After all, there's really not much to say that would help her, yet the man is trying::
CEO_Janarn says:
::enters the room and takes his seat, can't help but feel the others around him::
Cmdr_Savar says:
::Quietly:: AXO: Any time.  Although the Luna may be out of range at times, you are always welcome to try to contact me.  ::Sees Commander Claymore, and wonders if he should join him or stay apart from the crew::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::stands from the front row and steps forward... looking towards a crewman to make sure that the station wide broadcast is working::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Takes a seat next to the CEO and nods ::
CEO_Janarn says:
::nods to the CSO and holds back his emotions...it wouldn't do to cry near a Klingon::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::looks at the crowd:: People: We're going to start now, if everyone would take their seat
Cmdr_Savar says:
::He and Amber take seats close to the front, and he feels the CSec's scrutiny, but ignores it::
FCO_Charn says:
::takes the seat that the counselor kindly offers, not quite realizing where exactly they are::
CSec_Powers says:
::Sees the FCO come in with the CNS... feels genuinely bad for her::
AXO_Danforth says:
::sits next to Savar and his lovely wife, good to be in the company of old friends on this day::
EO_Baggins says:
:: file in and takes a seat ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:

	What seems like no more than a few minutes ago a tragedy struck our crew. Returning from R&R a transporter accident took the life of our beloved Commanding Officer and friend, Captain Jeffery Morgan.  Now we are gathered together to remember the times we've shared with him.... At this time if anyone would like to step up and share they are more than welcome to ::steps back to a seat in the rear of the stage::

FCO_Charn says:
::narrows her eyes at Claymore::
EO_Baggins says:
:: smiles at ACO and nods in agreement ::
FCO_Charn says:
::knows it is expected of her to stand up and say something, but what can she say? She stays where she is::
Cmdr_Savar says:
::Feels a strange silence settling, and glances over at Jadis.  Since she is not stirring, Savar stands up and slowly walks the two rows forward to the stage::
CNS_Cook says:
::picks up on Jadis's thoughts, he feels really bad for her, but he understands why she wouldn't want to get up there.::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Sits quietly, arms folded waiting for what Savar will say ::
Cmdr_Savar says:

	For those who do not know me, I am Commander Savar Dickinson, former Counselor and Second Officer of Arcadia Station.  I left only a short time ago, and did not expect to be back so soon.  It is unfortunate that old friends should be brought back together with sadness.  I am honored to be able to attend and pay my respects to Jeffery Morgan.  Captain Morgan taught us all valuable lessons during his time aboard Arcadia.  I hope that everyone will think about what impression he has left, and personally reflect on his passing.  It is also my hope that his lessons will live on, and those who take his place will teach similar lessons.  ::Lets his words sink in for a few moments::  I believe that Jeffery Morgan did indeed live well and prosper.  ::Folds his hands back in his robe and leaves the podium::

AXO_Danforth says:
::watches as Savar sits down and then stands himself::
FCO_Charn says:
::looks down, to her hands which she keeps on her lap at a big effort::
AXO_Danforth says:
::he stands behind the podium and begins his eulogy::
CSec_Powers says:
::Thinks about Savar's words... did Morgan have time to teach him any lessons?::
AXO_Danforth says:

	I knew Captain Morgan for a long time.  He helped me grow into the man I am today and influenced many of my decisions in Starfleet.  When I left Arcadia, I didn't know I'd ever be returning, but I'm glad I did, and I'm glad I was with him during his last moments.  I only wish there was someway I could have saved him.  ::pauses briefly while getting a bit choked up::  I remember the time I flooded Engineering with radiation.  We had just met the Skree and they wanted to see the engineering section.  It was a sensitive area of the ship, and we weren't sure we could trust them.  I took independent action, trying my best to do what was right without fully thinking it through.  Another Captain might have thrown me in the brig.  Another Captain might have kicked me out of Starfleet.  But Captain Morgan gave a young ensign help and instead issued me a reprimand.  Captain Morgan gave me my first promotion.  He offered me the chance to grow as an officer and expand my horizons.  And now I stand before you today as a Commander in Starfleet.  I am proud to wear this uniform, and it's because of people like Captain Morgan.  I will always remember him fondly.  ::Chris steps down and returns to his seat, glad to be able to share his thoughts and feelings, but missing the Captain even more.::

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::looks into the crowd to see if there are any others::
FCO_Charn says:
::takes a deep breath, glad she did not stand up. What she could say... it's too personal to say out loud. At least he knew::
FCO_Charn says:
::meets Claymore's eyes and shakes her head almost imperceptibly just in case he thinks she will address the crowd::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::stands up and moves towards the microphone:: Crowd: I don't think I can speak either. The Captain was my mentor, and a good friend.  We all have stories, some of them more personal than others, but all deeply important.
EO_Baggins says:
:: wishes that he could say something but can't it is still to close for me ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
Crowd: It is now time to commit the body of the departed to the stars.  ::Motions crewman to blow the whistle::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::waits for everyone to stand at attention::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Thinks the only thing he could say is that he has a case of homemade blooddwine in his quarters to help wash away any pain the others have::
AXO_Danforth says:
::stands at attention::
Cmdr_Savar says:
::Stands::
CEO_Janarn says:
::stands at attention::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Readies at attention ::
EO_Baggins says:
:: stands up at attention ::
CNS_Cook says:
::rises to attention::
FCO_Charn says:
::stands up at the sound, at attention, fixing her gaze at an undetermined point ahead of her::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::motions for the honor corps to begin playing, then turns attention to the bay window facing the starlight::

Fizer's final gift... the Ghost of Captain Morgan appears before Jadis briefly to touch his finger to his lips and blow a kiss, and mouth...'I love you'...then fades.
